RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS IS ON THE SECURITY QUESTION PAGE...

To change your APPLE ID to your Rescue Address, you must first eliminate/edit the Rescue Address out of your present account. Select the page to change your Security Questions, (you can enter the same answers as before or change them). The Rescue Email Address is there to be Edited or Deleted... edit/enter a new Rescue email address and press SAVE... Print this page!


The old Rescue Email Address can not be anywhere in your account so if you have it listed as an alternate email address on the first page where you edit APPLE ID, you must Delete it there also. Your account should be clear to edit/enter your new APPLE ID.


Took me 2-days of fumbling around to locate where I first saw Rescue Number 'send email to' and I didn't press SAVE in that specific little box even though I did enter a new email address... I only pressed SAVE at the bottom.

Hope this helps many other people and saves us from going bald....
